Which cams should I use for my /6. I have two different cam sets. I have E and S sets. I do not want to buy new cams. My car is simply for fun on the road. This is my general setup that I am building.
2.7l 70.4mm crank Stock 2.7l heads 9.5:1 JE 90mm pistons Dual zenith carbs. |

I like the Solex cams.. They fall in between the E & S cams..
Bruce A book notes them to be the better choice for the 2.7 RS spec engine. That's what I put in my 2.7 build but you can't go wrong with either E or S. E cams are better for a street driven car where the S are more for high speed/track. I drove a 914-6 2.7 RS spec with the S cams in it. The car seamed to like to rev to 7300 but had not much low end take off.. with that said some old beat up chevy took me off the line but couldn't keep up once I got higher up in the revs. If all possible see if you can drive someones car with both cams. I bet you will like the E vs the S cams. |
